Not taking sides either....but can imagine the toll it takes upon a child who was born deaf...As for late-deafened, it's much easier and of course for those who are HOH.
As for any educational meetings, company meetings, etc., no way could I get everything that was said. Concentration on a daily basis takes it's toll...with headaches and eye strain, plus lots of misunderstandings, even some emotional issues and feelings of being left out.
